24th Homecoming Passes in Review
Opens Friday
Rev. A. Halvorson
Is Main Speaker
for 3-day Meet
By Dorothy Simons
Another Augustana homecom-ing
is over, but the memories of
a very pleasant weekend still lin-ger
on. In case there ire people
who have so soon forgotten just
what went on from Friday, Octob-er
17 to Sunday, October 19, here
is a review in a nutshell.
Registration of alumni began
Friday noon and continued
through Sunday. The first major
event of the weekend was the cor-onation
Friday of Dorothy Ann
Erickson as Viking Queen, with
Marge Kvernes, Barbara Scott,
Lorna Pearson, Lavonne Magnu-son,
Irene Larson and Esther
Johnstad as her attendants. A
pep fest and bonfire followed the
coronation that night, and so
another homecoming got on its
way.
Keith Case, former Dean of Men
at Augustana, came from Denver
to give the address at the Satur-day
morning convocation. Society
luncheons were held at noon, and
a men's smoker in the Huddle
Lounge was on the agenda for Sat-urday
afternoon. Alums had a
chance to meet again and remi-nisce
about "the good old days" at
Augics when they attended the
alumni banquet at, the First Luth-eran
church Saturday evening.
The highlight of the three-day
celebration—the game between
the Vikings and the Jackrabbits--
provided plenty of thrills for the
spectators and not even a loss to
State College could spoil the gen-eral
spirit on campus. An added
feature at the game was the ap-pearance
of the Brandon and Hart-ford
high school bands. The Queen
and her attendants were present-ed
from a float which represent-ed
a Viking ship.
The Rev. Maynard Iverson, as-sociate
pastor at Central Lutheran
church in Minneapolis, delivered
the sermon at the Sunday morn-ing
services held in the Gym-audi-torium.
A reception for the royal-ty
was held in the Huddle Lounge
in the afternoon and an LSA can-dlelight
service Sunday evening
concluded the homecoming acti-vities.
Fall Debate Class
Discusses Topic
"Resolved: that a Federal
World Government should be es-tablished"
is the 1947-48 debate
topic • now under discussion by
Augustana's newly formed debate
class under the direction of Mr.
Robert Snook. Work in original
oratory and extemporaneous
speaking will also be done in con-nection
with this class.
Students participating this year
in intercollegiate forensics are:
Howard Abrahamson, Helen Bek-ke,
Jean Boe, Twyla Boe, Cathar-ine
Cashman, Kirk Dayton, Gene
Doering, Leo Johnson, Tom Kil-ian,
Mary Larson, Frieda Misch,
Jack- Mueller, Dorothy Pederson,
Naomi Seim, Francis Smith, Ver-lyn
Smith, Gerrit Van Hunnick
and Lawrence Westerlund.
Discussions and practice de-bates
are now being held in prep-aration
for the first tournament
of the season at the University of
South Dakota, November 5 and
6.

here.

extra bunks will be put in the

teacher and well-known
author, will open this season's
Artist's Series with a lecture on
October 28, at 8:15 p. m. in the
gym-auditorium.

Mayo hospital for an eye opera-tion.
Miss Dahl's talk is the first
of several programs that will be
presented free of charge to the
Augustana faculty and students
and the general public.
'Skin of Our Teeth'
Action Packed Hit
By Dick Struck
I hate to write this review. If
I say I liked the play, people will
say I am prejudiced. If I slam the
play, people will say I am a cynic.
But there is no doubt in my
mind regarding the play, for if you
saw it, you know that The Skin of
Our Teeth got by with plenty to
spare. For two and a half hours
its enthralling action kept the
audience from realizing that their
Bob Larson
chairs were not padded. From the
time the five-piece band marched
down the center aisle until the
final curtain, Wilder's wilder
comedy displayed the results of
good direction.
In the deceitfully subtle sa-tire
on man' eternal and
trusting conquest of time and
matter, the cast presented
good college theatre. Cather-ine
Cashman's Mrs. Antrobus
provided complete acceptance
and understanding of the role.
Mr. Antrobus, Verlyn Smith,
in saving the human race time
after time, made it seem
worthwhile.
Impossible to overlook through-out
was Berthamae Ofstad. It was
her play and she convincingly
proved that Sabina, the maid, was
a lot of woman. Jean Nelson's Olga
the Fortune Teller showed she
knows what to do with a stage.
Taking scenes wholesale
was Allen Rasmussen, as a
telegraph boy and a chair
pusher on the boardwalk, the
comedian of the play.
Henry, the world's human prob-lem,
by Gene Johnson, upheld the
casting and presentation.
The rest of the cue catchers,
Donna Mahl, Kirk Dayton, Cecil
Schraeder, Elva Johnson, Marshall
Loge, Floyd Mlady, Ted Limmer,
Francis Smith, Doris Otterson,
Lorene Hauge, Carolyn Hinde-raker,
Alys Christenson, Dorothy
Jean Erickson, Lawrence Wester-lund
and Gerry Lofgren were all
consistent and capable.
Don Reaves' disappearing sets,
the lighting, the props, the cos-tumes,
Director Bob Snook's scene
stealing, Bert's offstage com-ments,
the action that overflowed
the stage into the auditorium a la
Olson and Johnson held the whole
thing together.
In other words, from where I
sat, "Loved that play!"
All The Way With Christ is the
theme under which 18 col-leges
and universities of the North
west Regional LSA will meet for
their annual conference at Aug-ustana
college October 31, Novem-ber
1 and 2.
The Rev. Arndt Halvorson, For-est
City, Iowa, who is an Augie
graduate of 1936, will speak at the
candlelight service Friday eve-ning.
He will also speak at the
banquet Saturday evening at the
First Lutheran church, and at the
morning worship on Sunday. The
Rev. Harold Ditmanson, St. Olaf
college faculty member, will con-duct
Bible studies on Saturday
and Sunday mornings.
Dr. Ruth Wick, of the Student
Commission, the Rev. Dick Larson,
University of South Dakota, the
Rev. Ed Nervig, Augustana, the
Rev. A. E. Hanson, South Dakota
State, the Rev. 0. L. Proehl, Uni-versity
of North Dakota and Bet-ty
Jean Halvorson, student coun-cilor
at NDAC, will lead the Sat-urday
morning forum groups.
Choral singing will be under the
direction of the Rev. Bob Otter-stad,
Milbank.
Bob Larson,. SDSC, is regional
LSA president. At the National
Ashram last fall, he was also elect-ed
national LSA president. Elise
Halvorson, Augustana, is vice
president of the region.
Two hundred and twenty-five
students are expected to particip-ate
in the conference.
Chairmen of the LSA teams that
are responsible for the convention
plans are: housing, Virginia
Herbst; registration, Naomi Seim;
Friday night supper, Ray Stolaas;
candlelight service, Our Savior's
church, Gordon Canis; breakfast,
Sunday, Kee DeBoer; Communion

Leland Johnson and Margar-et
Pierson.
